9/11 museum scrapping 20th anniversary memorial is a disgrace

 9/11 museum scrapping 20th anniversary memorial is a disgrace

"Remember all the talk that if we didn’t rebuild after 9/11, the “terrorists would have won?” The museum has raised the white flag to the virus and there’s no turning back"

"As the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attack looms, the National September 11 Memorial & Museum is crying poverty for the second year in a row. This time, it says it can’t afford to mount special exhibitions planned to mark the two-decade milestone. 

"In 2020, the twin-beam “Tribute in Light” was canceled only to win a last-minute reprieve after soon-to-be-ex Gov. Cuomo pitched in state resources. But no such bailout appears in the offing this time. 

"In fact, this year, the museum is shamefully restricting the reading-of-the-names ceremony exclusively to the families of 9/11 victims. No hero firefighters, cops, first responders or emergency workers, who were normally welcome until the pandemic eliminated last year’s event, are invited. 

"It’s simply outrageous that the great museum — a “humanely crafted engine of catharsis,” as I wrote at its 2014 opening — plans to sit out the 20th anniversary with a diminished acknowledgement of America’s worst terrorist attack and more pleas to pay a visit with tickets starting at $28 each." . . .

Campus Reform | WATCH: Sen. Cruz explains Marxist origins of CRT in new LI training "Senator Ted Cruz's speech is part of a new Leadership Institute training that coaches people on how to run for school boards.

"During his speech, Cruz analyzed the Marxist origins of CRT and the past statements of its proponents, including Ibram X. Kendi." . . .  Watch the video here.

"There is no question that all students need to learn about the evil of slavery, about JC about the horrible racial discrimination we've had in our country. But to reinvent the story of the American founding...and to characterize slavery as the beginning of and the heart of America, is to distort what America is all about."

. . .  "Cruz also addresses how to identify Critical Race Theory, the ways in which it discriminates, and the harm that is done to children by teachers unions that insist on keeping Critical Race Theory in the classroom. 

CNN Demands School Kids Wear N95 Masks in School – Watts Up With That?

CNN Medical Analyst Wen: Kids Need Weekly Testing, N95 Masks ‘Cloth Masks Are Not Enough’

"CNN medical contributor Dr. Leana Wen said Tuesday on “The Situation Room” that when children return to school, they should wear N95 or at least a three-ply surgical masks and be tested weekly for coronavirus.

"Anchor Wolf Blitzer said, “Dr. Wen nearly 94,000 cases of coronavirus in children were reported in the past week alone here in the United States. What is it going to take to get kids back to school safely?' ” . . .

An American apocalypse – why people of all classes, races are filled with fear

What started out as elite woke nonsense now warps everyone’s daily life

Scientists Rename Climate Change 'COVID' So Americans Will Immediately Give Up All Their Rights To Fight It  "COVID is going to destroy us in less than 12 years," said Al Gore to a packed house. "We must stop this by purchasing as many of my books as possible, so I can fly to more places to spread the word about COVID."

 Victor Davis Hanson   "Americans are growing angrier by the day in a way different from prior sagebrush revolts such as the 1960s Silent Majority or Tea Party furor of over a decade ago. 

"The rage at the current status quo this time is not just fueled by conservatives. For the first time in their lives, all Americans of all classes and races are starting to fear a self-created apocalypse that threatens their families’ safety and the American way of life. 

"The border is not just porous as in the pre-Trump past. It is nonexistent. Some 2 million people may cross illegally in the current fiscal year—with complete impunity. 

"There is zero effort to stop them. Officials daily hector Americans to get vaccinated and tested for COVID. But they are mute about illegal entrants, some of them infected with the virus.

"Have we ever had a president who made no pretense about destroying federal immigration law and asking of Americans what he does not of illegal aliens?

"Joe Biden has also conceded that his hold on housing evictions deliberately defied a Supreme Court ruling. He added that he probably did not have the legal authority to ignore the court, but did not really care. 

"As in the case of demolishing immigration law, the president seems either unaware or proud that he is insidiously dismantling the Constitution.

"America has also never quite seen such overt and multifaceted efforts to undermine the foundations of free-market capitalism." . . . 

Never seen anything like this.

Afghanis face 14-step U.S. visa process as Taliban streams into Kabul. Illegals at the border? Come on in

Monica Showalter

Their fate is likely to be grim once the Taliban takes over, and you can bet these invading barbarians, who have engaged in public hangings elsewhere in recent days as they've taken over, would like to make an example of some or all of them.

According to the Wall Street Journal, getting a visa to the U.S., even in these conditions, is a 14-step process. . . .

 . . . "Fourteen steps? For people they presumably already know and have already worked with? Translators, spies, interpreters, other people who've taken risks for us? The time is short, the monsters are circling, and like everyone else, the visa applicants probably believed the U.S. intelligece assessments that Kabul would fall in 90 days, not 72 hours (or less). The people who need to get out number by one report 80,000 people if families are included, and according to this report from Politico, there had been no U.S. planning for them, despite having several months to do it from the date that Biden announced the pullout." . . .

The bigger irony, though, is that as these bona fide refugees are gummed up in visa paperwork, the southern border is seeing a surge of people with no serious asylum cases into the country, no questions asked. Some 50,000 of them have been let in without a court date, a paperwork nicety most ignore anyway. Others have been admitted with full-blown COVID, despite Title 42, which would normally force them back. None of them have ever done a thing for us, but they're being let in without visas, without any paperwork, without even court dates, because they serve as useful political tools for Democrats.
